Chapter 57 The praying mantis flutters the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind

Even if he was unwilling, Wuhuan had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to his territory as soon as possible.

In the distance, I saw that the outer periphery of the Ebony Jin tribe's territory was in shambles, and the ground was full of traces left by fighting and killing.

Arrows half-inserted into the grass, blood-stained dirt, and even a limping wounded soldier lay dead on the ground.

This time, Wuhuan planned to capture Youzhou City with all his might, so he took most of the troops away, leaving only some town guard camps.

But I didn't expect that the praying mantis fluttered the cicada, and the yellow finch was behind, and those hostile tribes that were eyeing each other took the opportunity to sneak attack!

"Return to your positions and strengthen the protection around your territory!"

Wu Huan gave an order, and the troops were ordered to disperse, and he returned to his camp with some of the remaining soldiers.

He turned around and sat down, his mind still couldn't forget the messy appearance of his territory just now, and he was angry, and his fist hung on the chair handle, causing several people in front of him to be vigilant and cautious in their words and deeds.

One of them said, "General, this time a total of three tribes have come to attack, and they seem to have formed an alliance in private. ”

Another person answered: "They are watching our every move, otherwise they would not have chosen this time to attack us, I suspect that there are their undercover agents in the territory." ”

"Hmph," Wuhuan raised his eyebrows, "If that's the case, we will find that person at all costs, and then kill him!" ”

"It's the general."

"This time, the other tribes are already ready to move, if they send people to deal with them, I'm afraid they will have no strength left to deal with Youzhou."

Wu Huan weighed in his heart, the forces on both sides should not be underestimated, and they were both the targets of his annexation, which was really confusing and didn't know who to deal with first.

At this time, another man walked in the tent, and he reported to Wu Huan: "General, this time a total of 500 people have been lost, and 800 people have been wounded, ranging from severity to severity. ”

Five hundred plus eight hundred, that's 1,300 soldiers, although this number is only a small number compared to the large army, but for Wu Huan, with these 1,300 people and without these 1,300 people, maybe the difference between victory and defeat is a thought.

His face suddenly became gloomy, he never thought that he would make such a mistake when he had always planned things.

At this time, someone stood up and said: "This time we must not let go of those tribes easily, the general might as well temporarily slow down the Youzhou side and concentrate on repelling those tribes to prevent future troubles." ”

"Then if Youzhou Mu takes advantage of us to attack other tribes and starts attacking us, wouldn't it be the same ending as today?"

The man who was scolded by Wu Huan's words couldn't say a word, and then another person stood up and suggested.

"General, this defeat, the army's morale is weakened, and nearly a thousand soldiers have been lost, if you want to ensure your strength, you must first settle your internal worries, and raise your troops well, so that even if we attack other tribes and Youzhou at the same time, we can deal with it."

Several other people agreed, and Wuhuan also nodded and agreed: "Indeed, this method works. ”

I have to say that the Ebony Zhen clan has fallen into a very difficult situation, first there are many wounded soldiers under the account, and then the grain and grass in the army have been robbed by Lu Mingshuang before, and the supply is insufficient.

Resources in the army have always been very important, and if the resources are insufficient, no amount of soldiers will help.

Wuhuan propped his head in annoyance, with the current situation of the Ebony Zhen clan, it would not last long if he persevered like this, how to solve the problem of grain and grass?

On the other hand, although Chu Yixi is under house arrest, his predecessor is a state pastor, and his intelligence network will not be under house arrest

Today, he received information from his informant about the Ebony tribe.

"Master, Wuhuan hasn't had trouble going to Youzhou for many days, according to the investigation, the Ebony Zhen clan has run out of food and grass, and the strength is not as good as before, and the army is disheartened, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get through this difficulty."

Chu Yixi nodded thoughtfully, he scratched his chin and smiled cruelly.

He wrote a letter at his desk, motioned for the informant to come and hand it to him, and instructed him, "Be sure to write a letter to Wu Huan." ”

"Yes." After the informant got the order, he retreated, and Wu Huan clenched his fist with one hand, if it weren't for Youzhou Mu, he wouldn't have fallen to this point this time.

Now he has the chips that Wuhuan wants, and he wants to make a good deal with him.

In the territory of the ebony tribe, Wuhuan looked at the letter in his hand, the ink on it was still very new, and the touch of this letter paper was also extremely soft, and it was a high-quality rice paper when touched.

It's just that it doesn't matter, the important thing is the words written on this piece of paper, which makes Wu Huan angry in his heart.

"I have everything you need, food, grass, and medicine. When I was a state pastor, I hid these things in a place to save my life. ”

"If you want me to give it to you, but you want to let me go, but I'm afraid you have to let me go, or I'm afraid the Ebony clan will die here!"

Every word is heart-wrenching, but every word is true, this is indeed the current situation of the Ebony Zhen clan.

Along with Chu Yixi's letter, there was also a map that marked the place where the things he used to trade were placed.

Although Wuhuan really needs these things, looking at it, the soldiers in the barracks are not enough to eat now, and even he, a general, has to reduce his meals and suffer with everyone.

Not to mention the herbs, there are only a limited number of military doctors in the army, and the herbs in the vicinity have almost been mined, and then those tribes have attacked several times, and the number of wounded soldiers is increasing day by day, and now it is almost impossible to hold on.

Even so, Wu Huan was reluctant to trade with Chu Yixi from the bottom of his heart, looking at the coercive and seductive tone in his heart, as if he was his savior, as if the entire Ebony True Clan would not be able to live without him.

"This Chu Yixi!" Wu Huan crumpled the letter two or three times and threw it on the ground, and suddenly there was silence in the tent, and when Wu Huan was angry, no one dared to speak to him.

But when it came to the survival of the Umujin clan, a soldier finally mustered up the courage to stand up and say, "General, we need these grains and herbs very much!" ”

"I know," Wu Huan frowned, anger emanating from his body without words, "but look at this Chu Yixi, if it weren't for him, our Ebony True Clan would really not be able to survive this difficulty?" ”

"He's a villain now, and he still wants to threaten me Wu Huan?" With that, Wu Huan stood up suddenly, and drew the sword at his waist, "I'm going to take his life now!" ”

was already in a bad mood by Lu Mingshuang's previous actions, and now he was even more angered by Chu Yixi's words.

With his current ability, even if he can't deal with other tribes and Youzhou, he can still do it by killing this Chu Yixi first to relieve the speed in his heart.
